Description
The Addressable Isolator Base 6” (AIB) comes with an integrated isolator
module included. The base has a locking feature for the sensor that may be
used or removed in the field. Once the head is removed, the isolator is
accessible in the bottom of the unit.
The isolator will open the Signaling Line Circuit down stream when a short
circuit is detected. This will provide devices between the control panel and
the isolator to continue to operate. The short is indicated by a steady amber
LED and once the short is removed the unit will return to normal operation.
Detector Base Mounting
AIB should be mounted directly on the electrical box. The mounting holes are
configured for a single gang, double gang, octagon or 4” square box.
Locking Feature
AIB include a locking feature that prevents removal of the detector and
removal of the base cover without using a tool.
- To eliminate this feature, break off the locking tab (refer to Figure 1), and then install the detector.

To remove the detector from the base once the locking feature has been activated, insert a small screwdriver into the slot on the base to push the plastic tab while simultaneously turning the detector head counter-clockwise (refer to Figure 2).
